Installing The CheckBox HSv530a Controller
Locating the equipment
The CheckBox HSv530a must be located indoors in a dry area and should be located
close to power and the Internet connection(s)
Connecting the equipment
The CheckBox HSv530a will connect to your DSL, fiber, satellite, or cable modem using
an Ethernet network cable. Depending upon your particular modem the jack may be
marked “Internet”, “LAN”, “PC”, “Host” or something else.
The CheckBox HSv530a can connect up to five different Internet connections and
provides automatic load balancing and automatic failover switching.
Connect your CheckBox HSv530a as follows:
• The Local Port connects to your access points or networks switches connecting your
access points.
• Ports A through D are flexible can be connected to either Internet connections or to
your access points or networks switches connecting your access points.
• The Internet Port connects to your first Internet connection.
Important
Ports A though D are flexible and can be used for either additional Internet
connections or as local ports. However before they can be used you need to select
what role they will be used in.
It is O.K. to connect the cables first, but by default the ports are deactivated and you
will need to set their role before the system will recognize them.
